Correct wheel lug nut torque specs

studs are the way to go especially if you switch wheels very often as i do.

I just bought torque wrench for this reason, and for in between oil changes.

So if I want to make sure the wheels are torqued correctly, I loosen up the lugs and re-torque? All while car is on ground?

Thanks

That sounds correct. Loosen and re-torque while on the ground.

You are not supposed to usea torque wrench to remove lugs.

lug bolts are cleaner look imo..but then it depends on what someone is doing with the car...
